All data taken from the official NYPD’s Stop and Frisk database, unless otherwise noted.
Most frequent targets are black people (over 50%), males (over 90%), of a young age (median age is 23-24 for all years except for 2014).
The demographic composition of the targets didn’t change significantly over time.
The only exception is age in 2014 with a median of 17. It might suggest either some substantial change in policy or a problem with the data (the age variable seemed poorly recorded in the original database; see Project book for details).
To explore the variables in isolation, double click on the name of the variable.
